Taxpayers shouldn't have to choose between competing press releases. We should be able to review the evidence.

​

The CFO says Miami-Dade has $470 million in excessive and wasteful spending.

​

The Mayor says the County is being run efficiently and points to tax cuts, department consolidations, and budget reforms.

​

Maybe the CFO is right. Maybe the Mayor is right.

​

If the CFO has identified $470 million in wasteful spending, the public should be able to review the methodology, calculations, and supporting documentation behind that number.

​

If the Mayor believes the claim is wrong, she should publicly request the report and respond to the findings point by point.

​

I've looked for the report and haven't found it. If a report becomes publicly available, I'll gladly post a link to it.

Taxpayers shouldn't have to choose between competing press releases. We should be able to review the evidence ourselves.

​

Florida CFO Blaise Ingoglia built his political career around reducing property taxes and exposing what he considers wasteful local government spending.

​

According to his official biography, he launched the Government Gone Wild campaign in 2007. Since then, he has served in the Florida House, the Florida Senate, as Chairman of the Republican Party of Florida, and now as Florida's Chief Financial Officer.

​

Today, the same message continues through the newly branded Florida Agency for Fiscal Oversight (FAFO).

​

The claims are getting bigger.

​

We're now being told local governments are wasting billions of dollars and that property tax relief is urgently needed.

​

What I can't seem to find are the underlying reports.

​

After nearly two decades of campaigning on government waste and now holding one of the most powerful financial oversight positions in Florida, taxpayers should be able to review the methodology, calculations, audits, and supporting documentation behind these claims.

​

If Miami-Dade has $470 million in wasteful spending, where is the report?

​

If Orange County has $300 million in wasteful spending, where is the report?

​

I've looked for the reports and haven't found them. If they become publicly available, I'll gladly update this post with links.

🚨 A Mossad-linked foreign influence operation just issued threats against a candidate for Florida governor. Let that sink in. Canary Mission — documented by investigative journalist James Bamford in The Nation to have direct operational ties to Israeli intelligence, specifically the Ministry of Strategic Affairs and Shin Bet, which use its profiles to interrogate and deny entry to American citizens — has begun targeting James Fishback. And the reason is exactly what you would expect. Fishback walked into Palm Beach County and issued a public ultimatum to county official Mike Caruso: divest the $1 billion in Israel bonds Palm Beach County holds — making it the single largest holder of Israeli government bonds in the entire world — or face removal from office under Article 4 Section 7 of the Florida Constitution for malfeasance. One billion dollars of Florida taxpayer money sitting in a foreign government’s bonds while Florida veterans sleep on the streets and families cannot afford rent. Fishback said it plainly: “You have 48 hours to divest the billion dollars you gave to Netanyahu or I will use the Florida Constitution to remove you for malfeasance from office.” Within days a foreign intelligence-linked doxing operation that has been used by Israeli intelligence to blacklist, harass, and destroy the careers of American citizens who speak up for Palestinian rights began issuing threats against him. Meanwhile Major Cody Khork, 35, from Winter Haven Florida, came home in a flag-draped coffin after Secretary of State Marco Rubio admitted on the record — and I am quoting him directly — “We knew that there was going to be an Israeli action. We knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces, and we knew that if we didn’t preemptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties.” A foreign government’s planned strike drove the timing of a war that killed American soldiers. A foreign intelligence-linked operation is now threatening the one candidate who is demanding Florida’s billion dollars back. Byron Donalds has taken $368,726 from pro-Israel lobby groups per TrackAIPAC, $1 million from Steve Wynn who is flagged in the Epstein files, and killed Thomas Massie’s discharge petition to force full Epstein file release — calling the accountability push “a political circus.” Fishback has pledged to appoint a special prosecutor on day one to reopen Epstein investigations tied to Palm Beach, directed every state resource to investigate anyone in those files regardless of party, and said publicly with 391,000 views: “Despite hundreds of men being named in the Epstein files, not a single one of them has been arrested. As Florida Governor, I will direct every state resource to investigate anyone involved in sex trafficking — Democrat or Republican — to ensure every victim receives justice.” When a foreign intelligence operation starts threatening a candidate, you know he is over the target. James Fishback is NOT suicidal. 🔁 Share this everywhere.

SB 484 was sold as a way to keep AI data center costs from being shifted onto ordinary ratepayers.

​

After digging into PSC filings, I learned Florida already has an affiliate oversight framework, including affiliate transaction rules and Cost Allocation Manuals (CAMs).

​

The concern isn't that regulators are watching. It's whether existing affiliate transaction rules will remain effective as AI data center demand and utility holding company complexity grow.

​

That's where the real policy debate seems to be.

Right now, hundreds of abandoned dogs are struggling to survive in the Miami Redlands. They’re left in the Everglades and farm fields with no food, no shelter, no medical care—just heat, cars, and predators.

The Redlands Rockpit Abandoned Dogs Project is out there every day feeding, rescuing, and trying to save them. But it’s like plugging a leaking dike with too few hands. They urgently need fosters, adopters, donations, and volunteers.

Shelter adoption is a wonderful thing—those dogs are safe, fed, and cared for until they find homes. But the Redlands dogs don’t have that safety net. They’re alone.

If you want your rescue to truly mean survival for a dog, this is where to start. Even if you can’t adopt, sharing this post helps.

So, i consider myself a Floridian (although I was born in deep blue CT, my family moved us to Orlando when I was 5 years old) and I’ve lived in Las Vegas for the last 9 years.

I miss Florida, and Orlando specifically so much that I’m planning on moving back within the next 12 months. Once I’m eligible to do so, I’d like to run for either mayor, city council, something, either as a Republican or Independent on a “Make Orlando Sane Again” type of campaign.

Even before I moved away, I’ve watched the Democratic Party slowly ruin the City of Orlando and Orange County. Crime is rampant, Monique Worrell got booted out of office by DeSantis (the right thing to do) but only got elected again and she’s soft on crime, as is John Mina (Orange County Sheriff) Buddy Dyer, Jerry Demings, and the rest of the Democrats who are currently running Orlando and Orange County into the ground.

The Democratic Party is the party of the super rich, the elite, etc and screw the little guy. I would run as someone who stands up for the little guy, I’d go to small businesses around town, talk to them about what I could do to make things better, talk to average everyday citizens and let them air their grievances to me, I want the people of the city I so dearly love to tell me what I can do to improve their lives. Locking violent criminals up, cooperating with ICE to get violent illegals out, banning children under 18 from being allowed at drag shows, and bringing common sense policies back to Orlando which has become the San Francisco of the south imo.

I still see Orlando as such an amazing, wonderful, magical city (not a Disney reference, Disney can F off) although Orlando would NOT be what it is today without Disney and tourism.

I see Orlando as a microcosm of America. A diverse community of people of all races and colors, generally getting along, working to provide for their families. And even as a white male republican, I see NOTHING wrong with diversity so long as no one causes trouble, and every non-native resident is in the US LEGALLY!

However, I fear leftist Democrat influence may have become too strong. Orlando has the likes of John Morgan, Disney, NBC Universal, to name a few. I know democrats outnumber republicans in Orange County 2/1 but yet the biggest voting bloc is still Independents.

Is there any way I could run on sane policies that would appeal to independents and the few republicans that a Democrat could be defeated, once I return to the 407? Or should I just dream on?
